thanks
I like it too but have to repaint it since my top came in as a buckskin colored top .:banghead:@#$%@#$%#@ now I have to repaint it pastel sandstone to color match the top of the dash and the door top side trim. tan paint(red "ish" brown and buckskin (green "ish" brown) top just clashed way too much for me to accept it. no one had the material for a tan top or at least wouldn't admit they did anyway#-o
BUT you have to be a glutton for punishment to do one of these that was as bad as this one was. I spent 3 weeks off and on working on it and walking away when I got too pissed off at it. :D but there is about 25 hours in it and that was using a dremel with a fixed mounting jig to do the finger grips. it's the fiddly stuff in the horn ring that took the most time.
the OP's wheel looks to be a lot easier to fix. about 10 solid hours of work blasting it, epoxy fixing it and then primer/paint. of course you gotta wait for the Epoxy (usually it's 2 times waiting since you usually miss something) ,primer to dry then the actual sanding for paint topcoat. so realistically 4-5 days of work to make it look good.
